Describe the bug
As of Python 3.14, Python supports iOS. However, mlx only publishes binary wheels for macOS. As a result, it's not possible to use MLX on iOS hardware.
To Reproduce
Use Briefcase to package a Python app for iOS that includes mlx as a dependency.
Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS Version: macOS 26, iOS 26.
- Version: all
Additional context
I am a member of the CPython core team, the author of PEP 730 (which added support for iOS), and the maintainer of Briefcase. I'm eager to provide any technical assistance that would move this forward.
